"Mr President, it is not the first time that we have seen such a tactic and I would like to draw the attention of my fellow Members and of the Bureau to the following: all the world’s parliaments have two things, rules and regulations but also parliamentary conventions, the established practice. This happens in all the world’s parliaments, and this is customary practice for our Thursdays, as used to be the case with Friday mornings. We are all aware of this.
The tactic we are witnessing is obviously an unfair one and I believe that a demand by Members who are not present in the room cannot be considered. Furthermore, I should like to call on those Members who are more expert at preparing amendments to the Rules, namely Mr Leinen, and Mr Corbett as well, to prepare an amendment to this rule, stipulating the following: if there is a request for a quorum count and if the person who made the request is not present in the Chamber at the time the count is carried out, they will lose their
for that day, and all those who are not in the Chamber, if there is no quorum the count establishes that, shall lose half their
for that day, so that we can put paid to this type of tactic once and for all. It is an unfair attack on the way Parliament operates, and especially the way proceedings are conducted in Strasburg."@en1
